The Industry’s Fastest Parallel Filesystem at Any Price Point
PanFS® on ActiveStor® Ultra offers unlimited performance scaling in 4 GB/s building blocks, utilizing multi-tier intelligent data placement to maximize storage performance by placing metadata on low latency NVMe SSDs, small files on high IOPS SSDs, and large files on high-bandwidth HDDs.
Consistently High Performance Regardless of Workload Complexity
The Panasas® solution performs consistently, even as workloads change and the volume of data, applications, and users expands. And the PanFS parallel file system requires no manual intervention to tune for these changes. With Panasas, you just set it and forget it.
Linear Scalability Without Limitation
Quickly scale in increments without interruption or the need to tune. Our object back-end scales limitlessly so you can grow capacity and performance effortlessly. A balanced node architecture optimizes networking, CPU, memory, and storage capacity, preventing hot spots and bottlenecks.
Intelligent Data Placement Maximizes Performance
-
- Adaptive Small Component Acceleration (ASCA)
- Small files are stored on low-latency flash SSD
- Large files are stored on low-cost, high-capacity, high bandwidth HDD
- Metadata is stored on low-latency NVMe SSD
- An NVDIMM intent-log stages both data & metadata operations
- Unmodified data and metadata are cached in DRAM
